Road Dick sucked in a cold air and said: "If this battle is played like this, then the trouble will be greater. The Uruk Army will attack first and then defend, push the front to the most favorable terrain and then shrink. As long as you can defend Living is equivalent to opening up a territory of Xinjiang, and the entire Syrian desert is under their control. "
Amon nodded: "From the Uruk city state to the cape city state, the east and west ends of the Syrian desert are under the control of the Kingdom of Baron, whether it is advancing north or attacking from the Kish city state on the east side. There is no worries about the Duque Plains. This step is very ruthless. Even if they cannot occupy a corner of the Strait-City forever in the future, they can also take advantage of the opportunity to control the Duque Plains to obtain the greatest strategic benefits. "
Road Dick said with open mouth: "If all these plans can be realized, the Kingdom of Baron will replace the Egyptian Empire and become the most powerful country on the mainland, and there is no doubt that Gilgamesh will also Become the greatest hero in history, his prestige will even surpass the gods.
Amon shook his head: "This is just a grand wish, a dream in their hearts. In order to realize this distant dream, the first step is to complete the goal of cutting the cape city-state, which is what we want to stop today. . "
George frowned and sighed: "This battle cannot be fought. Pharaoh ordered us to block the Uruk Legion on the border. They came from afar, and we rely on our position to defend and should have the advantage. But now our military strength and combat power are far inferior to each other, and there is no fortification on the border of the cape city-state. Lord Dick, you have been in charge of the cape city-state for these years, haven't you thought of this? "
Road-Dick smiled bitterly: "Why didn't I think of it? My father took it into consideration when he was in office, but you look at the terrain, the long border is a curved arc, the endless Gobi Plain, there is no Dangerous, you can easily break through from any point. Building fortifications on the edge of such a long Gobi is not only labor-intensive but also of little significance.
Besides being blocked by the Syrian Desert, it has been peaceful for hundreds of years. What reason do I have to use up the manpower, material and financial resources of the city-state and build meaningless fortifications? I have made a lot of preparations over the years, and built the most important fortress in the town of Red Point, where I stockpiled supplies for the expeditionary army, and the place was in the middle of the line drawn by Commander Amon. "
People discussed for a long time, and reached the conclusion that the first battle will be defeated, and they could not stop the attack of the Uruk Army on the national border. At a time when nothing is happening, Amon sees that Aristotle has been pondering, and specifically asked: "Sir, you have also heard everyone's analysis. This battle will be defeated. Any suggestions?"
Aristotle finally said: "I am just an outsider, so I want to talk about the views of a bystander. This is a difficult battle, and the Egyptian army is at a disadvantage. The frontal resistance on the frontier is bound to fail, knowing So why bother with the gains and losses of one place at a time? It is better to take the initiative to retreat to Hongjiao Town, so that you can gain an advantage in strategic defense.
Road-Dick was taken aback, and asked: "Do you mean to hand over a large territory of the city-state?"
Aristotle puts his hands together: "Although I do n’t understand military, the adults have analyzed the results. The Uruk Army will occupy this land anyway. There are only two possibilities, or you will be After the defeat, you can go forward with your army; or you can take the initiative to retreat to build a stronger defense line and let them in. I think the latter result is much better. "
Amon also asked: "Pharaoh's order is for us to defend our enemies on the border, and the initiative to retreat is inconsistent with the order."
Aristotle shook his head and said, "Amon Warrior Amon, you are the commander-in-chief of the battlefield. He is in his position, seeking his actions, exercising his rights, and has the rights and obligations to mobilize the army to make corresponding deployments according to the actual situation. You can put today The results of the discussion and analysis reward Pharaoh, and then perform your duties as the commander in chief of the battlefield. If you cannot do this, please ask Pharaoh to change to a commander in chief of the battlefield. Why should you accept this unworthy name? "
After thinking for a while, Amon finally nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Thank you for your kind words. I understand what you mean. But the retreat is not an escape. You need to arrange several lines of defense alternately while fighting and retreating. The speed of the march, the top priority is to evacuate the residents and cattle in this territory to the west of the Red Head Line to avoid being looted by the Uruk Army. I will immediately report this combat plan to His Majesty Pharaoh, and Lord Dick immediately organizes the residents and Transfer of cattle and sheep. "
Rod Dick looked at the sand table and was distracted. He didn't answer for a long time. Mei Danzuo stabbed him with his elbow and said, "Master Lord, what are you thinking?"
Road-Dick ’s expression is a little weird, with a regretful tone: "My large private territory is also in this area. The servants and cattle and sheep can be taken away, but the village and a lot of things will be left to the enemy. . "
Aristotle asked with a smile instead of a smile: "Master Lord, do you want to mobilize the legions to defend your territory?"
Rod Dick raised his head and said: "Of course not, and if you can't say it, you can't hold it. Even if you can hold it, you must focus on the overall situation. The commander-in-chief has drawn up a plan to retreat. My farm and territory are temporarily Give up, if Egui won, they will still be mine after all. "
In his position, to do things, to exercise his authority, Amon made a strategic retreat decision, and ordered the Horus and Isis troops in the rear to rush to the red cape town to arrange a defense line to meet God- The Legion and Settlement retreated. He took the initiative to abandon the strategic depth of nearly two hundred miles from the border to the red cape town. It was not clear whether Pharaoh was satisfied with Amon's decision, but Pharaoh did not change the commander in chief of the battlefield. At this juncture, it was still a matter of war.
Amon has arranged several lines of defense along the way, and does not require the soldiers on the line of defense to stand still. They can retreat after the battle. The rear line of defense is responsible for covering the retreating former army. In this way, layers of skin retreat like a skin, so as to delay the advancing speed of the other party's first troops, and the cover personnel and materials are transferred to the rear. Amon himself went one step ahead and rushed to the red cape town to command the real main line of defense.
......
The leading troops of the Uruk Legion are as strong as they are, breaking through the border pass of the cape city-state and driving straight into it. The blocking along the way was naturally carried out by the An-Lah Corps. Although Amon did not require them to be able to defend, the soldiers who defended layer by layer still fought bravely. The elite division trained on the battlefield suffered heavy losses.
Amon set up three lines of defense east of the town of Red Point. After blocking the enemy, he retreated one after another, paying the cost of nearly a thousand casualties. Even John, who commanded the blockade, was seriously injured. However, they succeeded in slowing down the advancement of the Uruk Legion, covering the movement of personnel and supplies in the rear, and only a small number of residents who were less able to retreat fell.
Pushing forward to a depth of nearly two hundred miles, a large area of land occupied all the way. After the continuous penetration of the Uruk Legion, the unstoppable impact was contained. When it reached the front of the Red Cape defense line, it had been transferred into the two armies Battle position against the base position.
The Horus Corps and Isis Corps reorganized at this time have rushed to the Red Cape Town, while the Seth Corps has transferred a large amount of materials and population from the front. Amon led the retreating An-Latin Army to converge with the army, guarding the defense line and waiting.
Red Cape Town is located at the narrowest land between the two oceans in the Cape Town State. It is the throat that enters the hinterland of Egü. There is a small mountain range that does not run high through the north and south. It is a natural intermittent barrier. Hongjiao Town is located at a relatively gentle mountain mouth and is a must-have place for caravans. Many years ago this spontaneously formed this large-scale market town.
Later, Dick built a fortress here, building a wall like a small city-state. When the pharaoh army expedition, this fortress was a logistics base for hoarding supplies. On both the north and south sides of Hongjiao Town, fortifications along the small mountains and mining stone were also built, and rough wood fences were erected on the open terrain.
As soon as Amon came to the Red Cape Town, he realized that it was a battleground for soldiers. Retreating further back, the terrain has once again become open and flat, less than a hundred miles away is the main city of the cape city.
The mountains here are not very high, the side toward the cape city-state is relatively steep, and the side toward the border is relatively gentle. If the Red Cape Town and this line of defense were captured by the Uruk Army, then the enemy would have a great advantage and be able to resist the counterattack from the direction of the Hinterland, so this line of defense must not be lost.
But it ’s not easy to guard it. You ca n’t just shrink and be beaten behind the castle and fortifications passively. Once the mountain range on the left and right wings is breached, the Red Cape Town will be surrounded by the army. This is just a town, the city walls are not too high, it is difficult to resist continuous attacks. Although the town can be stationed with a large army, but it is too crowded when it is trapped in it. Without opening the battle array, it loses the advantage of the large army.
So the battle plan made by Amon is to set up a military battle against the outside of the town, relying on the castle and fortification behind him as a cover and cover. If the battle is not good, you can retreat calmly. After a solid defense, you can attack again. A tough offensive and defensive tug of war.
Amon unexpectedly saw Gabriel in the Red Cape Town. This warrior was sent to replace Long Ying, the former commander of the Isis Corps who was injured and returned to the rear to recuperate. Pharaoh's army and Hatti also had a lot of deaths and injuries. For example, Cezanne, the great magician who sent a letter to the God Corps, and Vega, the great warrior, were seriously injured, and they can no longer fight. The Virgin Lady also sent Gabriel to the front, which shows that she takes this place very seriously.
Amon said to Gabriel: "You are just here. My former commander John was seriously injured in the blockade and was unable to enter the battle. The Isis lineup is currently incomplete. I want to put three The elite of the legions are organized into the forward battle array, and you will be the front battle commander. This task is very dangerous. Are you willing to accept it? "
Gabriel bowed his hand on the sword handle and said, "You are the commander in chief of the battlefield. Since you are a military commander, why do you ask me to accept it? This is my honor, and I thank the commander for his trust"
Of course, Amon trusted Gabriel. He knew the loyalty and bravery of this great warrior. In the beginning, Mary recommended Gabriel as the former commander of the An-La Army. Amon chose John without accepting it. On the one hand, he did n’t want to take away the most important arm help around the saint; on the other hand For reasons of status, he must have absolute authority to command the command, and John is obviously more suitable.
But now and then, he is now the commander in chief of the battlefield. He is in a position crucial to frontline battles. Of course, he must appoint someone who knows and trusts. Since Gabriel is on the front line, it is her task It is also very dangerous, because it is likely to face Enqidu, the first warrior in the mainland.
Just as Gabriel accepted the latest appointment, the Uruk Legion was on the ground. Gilgamesh also saw the situation clearly. Instead of attacking the town of Hongjiao directly, he set up a large camp dozens of miles away, and sent a messenger to send a letter. The expedition of the army must of course be well-known, and issued a letter to announce why he should fight and what is the purpose of the war? This not only occupies a moral height, but also inspires morale. The content of this script is as follows-
The great, solemn, and kind spirit Marduk,
Whether heaven or earth will obey your will,
The sacrifices of future generations will never be forgotten.
The harvest given to the land by the gods filled the granaries,
Please accept the blessings of people forever.
I hear your call and look up to the glory,
Your glory will shine on our army,
Advance to the gate of the earth and ocean.
The place of the legendary Marduk,
A glorious return will be ushered in,
Rebathed with the glory of the gods.
Your people will punish Egü, their pharaohs will humiliate the gods, bully the Gentiles, be greedy and brutal ...
At the end of the poem is a long list of luxurious titles, with fifty titles to praise Marduk. The name of this **** is really long enough.
After seeing this epilogue, Amon realized that there are also oracles of Marduk in the Kingdom of Barron, which is the same as the situation of Hati and Egü. Gilgamesh sent troops in the name of an oracle. The content of the oracle mainly has two aspects: one is to punish the pharaoh of Eju who is disrespectful to the gods, greedy and brutal, and dare to covet the legendary Marduk; the other important aspect Is to guide the people to restore the glory of Marduk.
The implication is that the Kingdom of Barron will also intervene in the battle for Duke Plains, and has great ambitions to control the entire Syrian Desert and Duke Plains. As the generals such as Amon analyzed before the war, if these goals are really achieved, Barron will become the most powerful country in the surrounding countries, and Gilgamesh will become an unparalleled hero on the mainland.
Amon has seen the ancient documents collected in the Isis Temple Archives, recording the battle of the ancient gods that took place in the town of Duque, but there was a break between Enlil and Marduk, the Anunnaki The gods have since split into two groups. The place of Marduk, which made Marduk famous in the first battle, is still in the realm of Enril, so the "return of glory" mentioned in the scriptures should refer to the fact that the Baron army finally recaptured the Duque Plains. Marduk built the temple.
As Gore once said to Amon-"It is foreseeable that the dispute there will also be a fight of the gods, and people drive their desires in the name of God" but neither Gore or Amon , Are involved in this indiscriminate battle between the nations.
The purpose of the Uruk Legion is also very clear in the scriptures, they are to occupy the territory of the Egyptians east of the red cape defense line. The "gate of the earth and the sea" mentioned in the scriptures refers to The location of Red Point Town.
Due to Amon ’s strategic retreat, the territory the Uruk Army wanted has been captured, but the last two things are still missing. Militaryly, it is necessary to capture the fortifications in the town of Red Cape and the mountains on both sides in order to hold this place. Politically, it is necessary to force the Egyptian empire to cede and seek peace and formally recognize the cession of this territory. This is impossible for Pharaoh Eju to agree to, so a battle is still needed to give the answer.
The Amun sent the letter to the pharaoh in the back, and returned a war letter. He didn't talk nonsense like gods. Although he was proficient in all kinds of characters on the mainland, Amon himself was not very good at writing styles like hymns. The reply was very simple. It was agreed to see you on the battlefield three days later.
......
Three days later, on the plain west of Hongjiao Town, the two armies opened their battle. Under the scorching sun, the shiny glare of the armor and weapons, the soldiers clenched their swords and guns, and faced the mighty and powerful enemy lineup, their knuckles were a little white, but everyone stood upright, and they forgot to wipe them under the sweat.
The Uruk Army has always won with its strength. The formation is very regular. The double-chariot chariot is at the front. There is a royal hand, a list of samurai with a long shield and a shuttle gun, and a leather armor. Archer with long sword. The heavy cavalry team is on both sides of the forward, followed by the infantry phalanx.
Amon once again saw Gilgamesh. The young and handsome city owner is still so proud, he is sitting in a luxurious car with a large purple umbrella inserted in the center of the battle front. There are no guards on the car, and there is not even a guard on both sides. He is so generous as an outing, sitting between the battlefields of the opposing army.
It ’s almost the same as the scene where Amon saw him last time, except that Gilgamesh did n’t have a wine glass in his hand at the moment, but held a roll of sheepskin paper. Next to the seat were bows, weapons, and a staff. The hero wore a magnificent cloak, wearing no armor.
Gilgamesh sits at the forefront outside the battle, seemingly uncovered, but no one dares to despise it. In front of his car was a royal hand, a giant and burly man. A huge shield and a heavy broad sword were placed on the cowl, which was the weapon that Enqidu had beheaded Humbaba.
The first warrior in the mainland, En Qidu, sat at the head. He did not wear a helmet and wore a strange bronze scale armor. Amon can see from a long distance that the strong breath from the armor is very familiar, it should be made of Humba's snake scales, and it must have a powerful magical defense effect. V
